43% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Malbec, 6% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc, the Petit Verdot makes quite an impact and takes over everything else in this wine. Very dark, you get more smoke, cocoa and maybe a bit of currant, this is an interesting wine. I really didn't like it at first, but it was easy enough to down three glasses with no problem, and I am writing this review on the fourth. A very deep, dark purple, a finish of a good thirty seconds, and a nice velvet feel on the tongue.
